Come to think of it, when a healthcare professional said my parents were harmful, that person was right. Pushing medical care i did not want or need. Munchausen Byproxy. Not that I've been diagnosed. But it has similarities. I've seen it with other people. Keep in mind this is from the perspective of a traumatized and improperly medicated person. My perspective is thus biased. I've had a difficult time.

MIP
Angry got tired of MIP. Angry decided group therapy online. They invited me back. Maybe Arson will set me on fire. I think he wants to.
Bystander Effect In Psychology
- Notice
the event and act (or are in a hurry and not notice).
- Interpret
the situation as an emergency and act (or assume that as others are not acting,
it is not an emergency).
- Assume
responsibility and act (or assume that others will do this).
- Know
what to do (or not have the skills necessary to help).
- Decide to help (or worry about danger, legislation, embarrassment, etc.).
The bystander effect can cause someone to hesitate and refrain from taking action or offering help in a situation, assuming that others will step in or feeling less responsible when they see others present.
Bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to be fail to act in high-danger situations due to the presence of other bystanders. Thus, people tend to help more when alone than in a group.
Kitty Genovese
On the morning of March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese returned
to her apartment complex, at 3 am, after finishing her shift at a local bar.
After parking her car in a lot adjacent to her apartment
building, she began walking a short distance to the entrance, which was located
at the back of the building.
As she walked, she noticed a figure at the far end of the
lot. She shifted directions and headed towards a different street, but the man
followed and seized her.
As she yelled, neighbors from the apartment building went to the window and watched as he stabbed her. A man from the apartment building yelled down, “Let that girl alone!”
Following this, the assailant appeared to have left, but
once the lights from the apartments turned off, the perpetrator returned and
stabbed Kitty Genovese again. Once again, the lights came on, and the windows
opened, driving the assaulter away from the scene.
Unfortunately, the assailant returned and stabbed Catherine
Genovese for the final time. The first call to the police came in at 3:50 am,
and the police arrived in two minutes.
